Lazarus Vol. 7 by Greg Rucka
Well this was a strong finale for the current story arc. War between the houses reaches the climax that would put Middle Ages to shame, total annihilation and wipe-outs taking place left and right. This culminates with the session between Carlyle and Hock families. What comes pouring out shows how things started and how they ended - world thrown into turmoil and carved out by new feudal lords. Forever takes a desperate action, forced by her family's decisions - question is will she be able to pull it out, it is just too many moving parts in every direction.

I wont go into more details here because everything I say would be a spoiler, trust me lots of things take place.

Pretty good closure and I cannot see where it will go next. In parallel to main story famous Carlyle exile might just make his way back on the stage - as it usually goes in stories like this, he has a grudges of his own.

Highly recommended.… (more)

Gotham Central: In the Line of Duty by Greg Rucka
For someone who likes cop-shows in the vein of Homicide: Life On The Streets (they even have The Board), and Batman, this hits the spot pretty well. If anything a bit too much Batman.
